Intestinal microbiota-derived metabolites have biological importance for the host.
Polyamines, such as putrescine and spermidine, are produced by the intestinal microbiota …

The rate of caesarean section delivery (CSD) is increasing worldwide. It remains unclear
whether disruption of mother-to-neonate transmission of microbiota through CSD occurs and …

Background and Aim The emergence of colistin-resistant strains is considered a great threat
for patients with severe infections. Here, we investigate the prevalence and some possible …

Multidrug-resistant bacterial infections are becoming increasingly common, with only few
last-resort antibiotics such as colistin available for clinical therapy. An alternative therapeutic …

Acute bacterial infections are often treated empirically, with the choice of antibiotic therapy
updated during treatment. The effects of such rapid antibiotic switching on the evolution of …

There is a pressing need for a gonorrhea vaccine due to the high disease burden
associated with gonococcal infections globally and the rapid evolution of antibiotic …

Phocaeicola vulgatus is one of the most abundant and ubiquitous bacterial species of the
human gut microbiota, yet a comprehensive analysis of antibacterial toxin production by …

Studies of antagonistic coevolution between hosts and parasites typically focus on
resistance and infectivity traits. However, coevolution could also have genome-wide effects …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from the gut microbiota are largely uncharacterized and
their impacts on host intestinal physiology remain unresolved. Here, we isolated EVs from F …

Odontogenic infection of Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg.), a major periodontal pathogen,
exacerbates pathological progression of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). In this study …
